‘You get what you deserve’. It’s an old saying. One that survived the years, because it’s true. For the most part. But not for everyone. Some get more than they deserve. Because they believe they aren’t like everyone else. That the rules, the ones people like me and you, the people that work and struggle to live our lives, just live, don’t apply to them. That they can do anything and live happily ever after, while the rest of us suffer.
They do this from the shadows. Shadows that we cast. With our indifference. With a pervasive lack of interest in anything that doesn’t directly affect us, we, in the here and now. Or maybe it’s just the shadow of weariness. Of how tired we are, struggling to claw our way back to a middle class that no longer exist, because of those who take more than they deserve.
And they keep taking, until all that’s left for the rest of us is a memory of how it used to be before the corporations and the bottom line decided we didn’t matter anymore. But we do. You and I, the people of this country we still matter. There are some in the country that don’t share this belief. They have been among us for quite some time. You’ve heard their names. You’ve seen their faces. They have stayed in the shadows. Because men like them, men that want to control our cities, our lives, fear the light and what it reveals. These men must no longer be allowed to operate in the darkness. If they have nothing to hide, let them step forward.
No one should have to live in fear. In fear of mad men who have no regard for who they injure. In fear of the devils of our country were inflicted untold pain and suffering these masked terror mongers and psychopaths of their kind. We must show them, we will not bow down to their campaign of coercion and intimidation. There are those who want our country to stay exactly as it is, myriad in poverty and crime. We must stand up to them. We should stand together to fulfill the dream we have for our cities and country. The dream of a better place. A place for its citizens to feel safe, to progress, to evolve, to feel pride.
We cannot let these culprits keep living in the shadows afraid of the light. We need to be the rays of light that shines upon them and break this age of darkness. None of us should be forced live in darkness, we must do this together. We must resist those who would have us silenced and break our will. We must persevere.
